Thanks to whoever created this extension, now I can live normally again, seriously thank you very much ¡Five Stars!

Works well. Sometimes the UI glitches and the tweet button goes back to post for a second but otherwise, great. "Premium" could go back to "verified"

No Idea Lol, 2024-09-05

It's a good extension. Absolutely cannot stand the rebrand or Musk. I would appreciate if the Bird would be colored white (or black when using light mode) instead of blue. As well as refer to "Premium" as Twitter Blue instead (as nobody calls it "Premium" anyway).
